Quotes The current political crisis is the culmination of years of corruption and poor governance. To understand it, one has to remember that the small, overpopulated island kingdom of Britain is mostly cold, staggeringly bland, produces no flavour of its own and is thus forced to import all of it from Africa and Asia. These imports usually come via ports on the European pseudo-continent, but since 2020, a so-called “Brexit” blockade has meant that little flavour gets through. The entire population of the UK has thus been forced to survive on a traditional boiled diet, exacerbating a pre-existing dental health epidemic and prompting hundreds of thousands to flee the country. The crisis has reignited ancient tribal hatreds, supercharged separatist movements, and led to tribal violence in 2024, and heightened instability with five regime changes in the last 10 years. Starmer is actually the sixth PM since 2016. If he is deposed, this will just be further confirmation of the chronic political instability that has made the UK such hostile ground for democracy. Political scientists say the instability and tribal tensions have left it stuck at a rudimentary First World level of democratic development, unable to progress to a higher Third World plane. We must also keep in mind that the supreme ruler is not elected. He belongs to a family that has reigned unchallenged for centuries and whose members avoid using their surnames to hide their German heritage.
